Four twigs

Posted on Categories Poetry

This a collection of 17-syllable observations that I wrote in recent weeks:

roadside stacks of brush–no space for surplus twigs

♦

boys on ATVs raise clouds of dust around my washed car

♦

life is more simple when it pours—everything slows..except traffic

♦

boy in kayak spins in the rapids as father guides from shore.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

    1. Thank you 🙂 I ‘m glad you enjoyed the irony. Only the last one about the boy in the kayak was ‘untainted’. It was a pleasure seeing a boy learning how to handle his boat.
